I agree with this. I just had my 2nd ride. We go out, stop, do feed back and then come back. it could be more constant. On the VFR the rearward viability requires more effort. I have to spend 40% of my attention searching for the observer to see what his signals are! A simple; "turn left here" would fix that. I agree with the immediate feedback thing. My instructor for my DVLA test would use the radio to say things like, "see that person at the crossing - that means the lights could turn red any moment", "look over the hedge to the right and you will see there's a tractor coming in the opposite direction". This was really helpful in pointing out what was meant by "observation". But as for looking in the mirrors for signals - the counter argument would be that a glance in your mirrors is usually worthwhile when approaching any junction, so you know what's behind you in case you needed to brake, and it shouldn't take up too much of your attention to do this. I find that whenever I come to do my retest, I realise I've been neglecting my mirrors, and a couple of observed rides is enough to help me find them again. This is where it has to be careful. They are observers they are not trainers/instructors and are not insured to teach /train So if they gave you 'instructions' via Comms and an incident occured by you following their instruction then brown smelly stuff hits rotating air distribution unit . During debriefs / mid ride chats it should be points for you to consider not that you should do this or that . By an observer signalling it is a suggestion or at most a request both of which it is your choice to follow and even through comms it should be voiced in the similar vein . The essence of Advanced Riding is that you teach yourself not to be taught .

Have you checked the charging system . It may only be generating enough power to partially charge the battery and this then drains over usage and reduces the power significantly ...

Worst thing for me is how the bearing doesnt sit fully in its race or is that just not sitting properly by poor placement ? As rollers will not be spreading the load evenly

Sidestand switch partially sticking will give the above symptoms for when pulling off . quite common on a zzr600 . Lubricate and manipulate switch .

All gear levers are on the left innit? Brake on the right Not on early Brit bikes ..... I wondered that query regarding brake pedal but thought maybe a typo... If not http://www.nabd.org.uk/adaptations/ https://www.kliktronic.co.uk/ May be of some use

Presuming you mean lowering all including foot pegs etc Google zzr1400 adjustable rearsets ..

Kwak clatterings Can be cam chain adjuster Clutch basket worn ( grooves in basket fingers) caused by excessive clutch dumping Clutch basket bearing worn Or as mentioned the main bearing on the transmission to clutch basket shaft ( sits in the gearbox casing behind all the clutch mechanism) collapses and ball bearings escape etc .

Check the clutch shaft main bearing ..

Fills both categories.. Deathrow Gameshow . So bad its funny and so of its time that i would never be aired !

Best place to start is the owners manual if you have it ... If not try google Or as FB says remove the bulb and see if you can read any markings and enter that into google Or Take bike to Halfords and ask them to change bulb for a small fee Or take Bulb to Halfords and ask for a replacement

How many of you notice the signs about especially near farms etc . Especially on roads you ride often How many of these do you pass and it not even register Because you where there two hours ago and it was clear. ? Gain information from each ride not from the ride before

Nah not pigeon ...they send out Buzby https://youtu.be/U67FuWUkO_Q

He hooked up wires to starter motor and bike started immediately. That why we think it's the starter switch that is broken Could be Kill switch ( switch above starter switch) is turned off Clutch switch not working properly Fuse blown

How did you bypass the switch out of curiosity ? Did you just cross the solenoid or did you join the wires from switch

Not much in the media about this but today is National Blood Bike Awareness Day I know that Some of our members give their free time to this style of charity assisting the NHS and similar organisations in the transfer of essential and emergency items for FREE , as well as thousands of others across the UK who volunteer I rode for SERV Surrey and South London for 5 years before moving away from that area , and sadly work and personal commitments have stopped me volunteering again but that doesn't stop me waving at Each bloodbike i see out there . What's it All About https://www.bloodbikes.org.uk/ https://m.facebook.com/thenabb/ You don't even have to be a biker to take part .

Definite wrong cable then .. Something i think all should have in their shed/toolkit https://www.halfords.com/motoring/motorcycling/motorcycle-accessories/halfords-motorcycle%2Fcycle-cable-repair-kit-551934.html May make the difference from a day out to stuck indoors etc

It may be the picture but does the stanchion on the r/h fork look bent above/below the lower yoke?

Does it have aftermarket levers ? Had some lovely aliexpress levers fitted on the cbr600 when acquired it that did not fit right and would not allow free play and good clutch operation combined . It was one or the other ..

Its had a hard life by the mot history .. worrying part is the corrosion side hopefully its nothing severe . If you need a low seat for the er5 there is one for sale locally to me for £25

Remember its a demo bike still within its break in period .It may gave been ridden by a staff member or a customer who thrashed it .try to get extended warranty
